I got the XHP50.2 version and in testing with freshly charged batteries I am getting way more than 3500 lumens. I am estimating 5500 at turn on. I am hoping others will do some more accurate testing and let us know what they get.
I got nearly 6000 Lumen at start of my EA01 XHP50.2 CW powered by a 21700 Samsung 30T high drain battery …
My measurement is more on conservative side if my follows have noticed. Published values that are achievable by most owners with a good pair of freshly charged cell(s). I will provide another set of result when my new set of higher performance batteries arrive in 3-4 weeks time.
However, from my previous comparison with other reviewers test results, my values are usually differ by 15% max for under 10,000lm class light?
Owners feel free to share your personal test results with our readers. Do specify:
- emitter model
- briefly describe your test rig setup
- brand and model
- ambient temperature
Both my ea01 were delivered today! They are really nicely made, fit the 40t battery well, and have interesting beam shape/patterns with this optic. Can’t wait for night fall! This is the sst40 5000k (gray) and xhp50 5700k (blue).
Thanks again freeme!
Depending on the mcpcb size / layout (I’ve never had a TIR optic light and don’t know what to expect when I take the bezel off) I may drop a CULPM1 into one of these this coming weekend. I’ll post before and after beamshots if that ends up happening.
According to earlier post, there is inner diameter difference between different color tubes. Can someone confirm whether the Vapcell G53 is a good fit and to which tube color?
Thank you dta.
Been out with mine today. I have to say the beam profile of the SST-40 is probably one of the best beams I’ve come across. Very usable. Really really liking it as a light.
Shot some video too, which I’ll post up tomorrow once compiled.
Looking forward to your video as most of the available reviews show the XHP50 version 
please send me a coupon for ea01 XHP50
thanks 
I got exactly the same combination as yours!
- blue EA01 with XHP50.2 5700k
- gray EA01 with SST40 5000k
I notice that they also have the same error — the manual included in the gray EA01 package is incorrect — they shipped the FT02S manual instead of the correct EA01
— I thought they included the wrong manual (FT02S) on my EA01 only — based from your picture , it looks like they did this error probably for a whole batch…
I have a question — can you check if the battery tube of the gray EA01 is a bit narrower (if you have a Shockli/Vapcell 26650 — it will be a very tight fit on the gray body tube), also the tailcap thread doesn’t seem to be too smooth when screwing the tailcap on the body tube (at least this happens on my sample), I’ve applied some silicon lubricant on the threads but still not as smooth when screwing the tailcap.
Yea i thought the ft02s manual was funny! Funny we have same emitter color combo lol. only have an efest 4200 mah purple 26650 to check, will,do in morening, my threads are all good on head and tail caps. I LOVE these lights, way more then I though I would! Basically feel like over half my 25 lights are obsolete with these two!
Freeme-
I have to say - these lights are amazing! I like them, with their emitters and tir optics so much more then I thought. I’ve used both tonight for about an hour each and here are my thoughts-
-Half my lights are obsolete
-The sst40 5000k has the beam pattern of my Best looking sbt90 thrower
-The sst40 throws and looks 3/4 as bright and identical to my lumintop X9L!
—the sst40 is the same size as a KR1, throws just as far as the W2 KR1, is half the price and is twice as bright! Tell me that’s not awesome.
-the xhp throws almost the same (80%) as my Kr1, is the same size, and is probably 3-4 times brighter!
- the xhp50 looks brighter then my ft03 xhp50 , huge hotspot
- the blue and Gray are beautifully done!
**The KR1 is one of my favorite lights, i compare the ea01 to it for those purposes only. Im not saying ea01 is better bc they are so different, im just attempting to demonstrate how fantastic the ea01 is.
These two lights are by FAR, MY 2020 lights of the year.
Thank you freeme!
Oh, and I ordered two more today,just to have them. First time I’ve ever done that too.
Would someone mind posting a beamshot and throw distance comparison between the EA01 and Lumintop GT Mini? I’m very interested to see how these two pocket throwers compare.
I wouldn't call the EA01 exactly a pure thrower... The GT Mini out-throws it by a good deal, but the EA01 has a bigger hotspot.
Lumintop GT Mini (XPL-Hi neutral-white ~5000k) beamshot
Astrolux EA01 (SST40 5000k) beamshot
(note: my EA01 SST40 has a defect: it turns bluish-purplish on Turbo, so it may not be performing as well as a good functioning unit)
(If I get another EA01 SST40, I'll try to post another video...)
for comparison:
GT Mini Pro (basically similar to a GT Mini in size, but uses XHP50.2 LED) beamshot
Can I please get the coupon for a blue xhp50 light. Thanks
My review.
Freeme-
Is there anyway if we take a count of interested members that astrolux would consider producing pocket clips for this light? I know it couldn’t “snap on” like say a traditional “o-brand” clip does. But I’ve put some thought into a design that would work, similar to how I modified my d4v2 to take a fw3a clip. It would be possible.
I would buy 4, if not more. I know we are talking a low cost/ low sell item, but I had to ask.
Please consider! And thanks again for this awesome deal.
I would be interested in at least 2 x pocket clips. As I’d like one for my MF01 Mini.
Both the Mini and EA01 have recesses below the tail cap (sadly not quite the same size on both). But I assume would be suitable for a snap on clip fitment.
Am I eligible for a code? SST in blue. Please and thank you…
